Sweet Jesus, that was mind blowing! TH-cam is full of Comfortably Numb covers, lots of them technically good but lacking feel and emotion. This just knocks it out of the park. 😢😢😢🤟🤟
Taj, some advice. Wear shoes when playing electric guitar. Preferably rubber soles. Keith Relf lead singer of the Yardbirds was electrocuted when he was playing guitar at home barefooted and was killed.
I strongly disagree. This boy may be technically very good and shows us how great and fast he can play guitar, but the feeling is missing. Forgive him because he is young.
Im a huge floyd fan and ive heard lots of comfortably numb covers by many but taj has a true understanding of what emotions this piece envokes which is rare and he made it his own and its one of my favourite covers i would love gilmore to hear this because i know he would be gratified well done taj keep it up buddy😁
He plays GREAT, he's just a lil hard 2 watch, takes the theatrics just a tad 2 far 4 my taste. Granted these riffs R HARD 2 play but the faces he makes while playing is like watching a bad horror movie
Yeah..........I can say nothing else than this clip was fkn unbelievable..... this is a kid that was BORN to play guitar.....let's be real.....no one can match David Gilmour note for note or rift for rift on this tune. This kid, being born to play, shows you exactly why, if you are FKN GOOD, you do not have to play this tune note for note........ I was a kid when this music came out ....Ive heard it a billion times, and by many cover artists...... this kids cover could be overdubs of the real thing, and NO ONE would ever be able to detect the difference. The reason why ? He does not just play it, at 12 yrs old, he feels it. He is not trying to copy an artist, he IS an artist and is simply playing it as he FEELS it........and it is as good as the original, even not being the same exactly. My point......he is THIS good at 12........just wait until he is 22....... holy yit ! At 60yrs old, I may start going to concerts again if he travels near.
For someone his age, he's the best I've heard. Tbh he's already beyond a professional musician, it's mind boggling how good this kid is. But for the absolute best Comfortably Numb cover, its the link below. It's 10 minutes long and he really channeled David Gilmour in it. It's just mad good. th-cam.com/video/NF_KGJflC34/w-d-xo.html
He’s not just covering the song, he’s feeling it and living it...absolutely incredible talent. I wish David Gilmore could see this video. I think he would be blown away. Way to go young man!
I am a 65 yr old black woman in America I know your parents are extremely proud of you there's a wonderful future ahead for you I love to hear you play sounds Jimi has come back you are fantastic Taj don't ever stop keep the music come much love
@Dragon Phoenix69 He didn't wake up one morning and suddenly knew how to play guitar - he has learnt to play and kids learn faster than grown ups do. Jeez.
From your little bare feet, to your signature hat and awesome braids!!! You are a rockstar 🙏🤩 I don’t think there is anything you CANT PLAY!!!! Thank you for doing what you do, and letting us sit back and enjoy 👌🥰🙏🎸💥
Wouldn’t have thought so kids now days are more interested in lyrics like “ wave your hands in the air in the club with my Bentley and Rolex bitch” sad but true! 😂
For him to be so young is impressive. For him to dominate the guitar is phenomenal. But for this little dude to honestly FEEL the music is simply breath taking...
Taj seems to have the stable home to help him mature emotionally into a star musician. You can't force that kind of talent but you can nurture what is there. Kudos to Taj's family for supporting his passion. God bless them all, keep them safe, and protect his talent.
This child has restored my faithfulness to his generation!! Long live Classic Rock!!! Ahh this is so refreshing to watch his emotions as he shreds his beautiful guitar!! Long live Taj' !!! Sending love from Saint Petersburg Florida US!! Much respect for you and your family!! Stay real Taj! Fan forever!!! Peace to you all ! I'm a 62 year old woman who just sits back and smiles whenever you play!! 👍😎🌴❤🎸🎶🎸 ❤🌴😎👍
I first discovered you when you played this same song blindfolded back in September 2018. I thought “Well, just another dog doing tricks” (no disrespect), but I was absolutely blown away by your guitar skills and especially the feeling you play it with. Already a very, very accomplished player then, but by now you have taken your level way up higher. Where does your development end? I enjoyed following you closely the past 18 months or so and will keep on doing so throughout your career, curious to find out where your musical journey will take you. Thanks for the beautiful rendition of this classic song. Thanks for being awesome and keep on rocking, little big man. 🎶👊🏼🎸👑🎵
You are a rare gem in the world we currently live in. You took one of the most emotional guitar solos ever written and you furthered its effects. You're on your way.
This kid is already a multimillionaire, he’s just taking his time collecting it. A future legend of the music business if all goes well. Would love to see David Gilmore get together with him on stage.
David Gilmore plays a strat, so does Taj,adding his own riffs, he’s my hero, I’m 74 he’s 10 . Fan friggin tastic .This kid has all the accoutrements become the best you can little star.
Man I tell you what... this young man have the electricity all through himself. From fingers to his toes, he has definitely got it going on.. and already a ******STAR***** I could set and listen to him play all day and night...
Oh yes your so right about this young man he will be the best guitarist in the world i know because all my brothers are guitarist ..him hes git tge feel for it jusr the look is as 😮
This is what happens when pure natural talent meets desire, practice and dedication. His continued improvement is mind boggling. How much better can he get? I can't wait to find out. Keep on rocking Taj
holy moly that had it all... brilliant use of the wah great attack and tone such fast fingers and variety of riffs along with an energetic and interest- ing arrangement...it ticked all my want boxes for a guitar solo...that's how to play excitingly... and it's why you're the young leader of the pack... head and shoulders above the rest...that was pure C8H11NO2 to my musical receptors.🤘🤠🎸
More than anything, I hope this guy finds people to ground him! We have lost too many beautiful people to the ravages of fame and hubris that come with this life. I hope to keep seeing his work for years to come....!
This kid is playing the guitar so emotionally that the guitar becomes part of his soul. The greatest guitar legends took them 20 to 30 years to get where This kid is now maybe not even to his level. I am your biggest fan and I will be following your work years to come. What you have accomplished at your age I can’t wait to see when you are at in your 20’s. Man I am your biggest fans. Keep Rocking my body,
I've been following you for a while now, and watched you grow. As a guitarist for many years myself, I am amazed at how you interpret everything you play, with such finesse. You are truly a remarkable human being with all the God given talent you have. This was one of my favorite songs that you have taken to another level. You definitely have a great future ahead of you!! YOU ROCK! KEEP IT UP!
The best 12 year old guitarist in the world. Quite a phenom, and well on his way, but the list above him is long and distinguished. That being said, he is amazing.
An old soul. To be playing Pink Floyd only two years into actually playing is phenomenal. I'm going to share his stuff everywhere so that he is seen. Apparently already some of the greatest bands are having him entertain with them. Which in my book is truly phenomenal at nine years old. And only having 2 years experience from 7. This would take seasoned professionals years to perfect blows my mind. He reminds me of the next Jimi Hendrix or slash. He will be greater than both ❣️✌️
WOW Taj!! You never cease to amaze!! The control and finesse you have is that of an old kindred soul. As I've mentioned in past comments, stay the course and on the straight and narrow - our world is SO much better with you in it!! Big fan from CLE!
Dude, the feeling this kid has on his guitar is amazing, he has what he needs to become a legend. hope he grows healthy and keeps that amazing feeling and talent of his
True. I remember a little Asian girl playing "for the love of God" note for note, but she looked like she hated every minute of it. Probably forced by overbearing parents. This kid is the real deal though.
Definitely a step in that means a former guitar player like maybe Stevie Ray Vaughan where Hendrix or any of the other ones that have passed away Jan Mann is absolutely amazing for 9 or 10 years old keep on doing you doing a fantastic job a pleasure to listen to you God-bless keep up the good work. I saw the video of you giving your sister of hair a brand new drums that was really very nice of you good job mom and dad are doing a great job keep up the good work best regards C1 USN retired
Taj mate..there is something about the way you interpret a song then express it in your own way....many others just mimic and are clinical...you are on another planet! 👍
Imagine - a ten year old that slays any other guitarist that has ever existed or ever will exist !!!! This Is The Best, folks !!!! IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS !!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
@@isauwy Wow. They played like Taj - and as Taj - when they were 7 years old? 8 years old? 9 years old? 10 years old? 11 years old? I bet most of them had not even picked up a guitar yet !! And even at his now age of 12 years old he can do just as good or better than any of them !! Also, you obviously are just focused on the guitar playing, like I expected to be the case. For example, even David Gilmour, when playing his epic Comfortably Numb second solo, just stands there like an ironing board. Taj has such a great fan base and so passionate about him because HE IS so passionate AND is ONE WITH the music / guitar. These are things that are innate and cannot be faked or taught, and both of these things are not true regarding even at least half of the guitarists you named or could name. A person either has these, or they don't. Taj ALREADY IS the best overall package, and his guitar-playing is outstanding. Check out his Surfing With The Alien, and, Tennessee Whiskey !! His Comfortably Numb is fab, too !!
This is one of my most favoured guitar solos ever especially done by the originator David Gilmore. Taj has taken this and applied his own spin, he brings a tear to my eye. How exceptional this is, to all those that give this a thumbs down how inferior an intellect you have. To those people , you have listened to pure magnificence.
literally the greatest guitar player ever. i have been binge watching and re watching taj for the last two days straight. unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable! kid is the goat
James Joiner Angus Young started him on this path. He watched him play in concert and said “ that’s what I want to do for the rest of my life!” Thankfully his parents are very supportive. His sister Jezel is a drummer.
OMG you are the greatest guitarist in the world, I’m an old rocker 67 yo and I’m blown away by you kid 😮❤❤ you have such an awesome spirit….may the Universe bless all your day..
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind and heart that this is Stevie Ray Vaughan reincarnated. Laugh all you want. As soon as I saw and heard him play. He's a child prodigy quite capable of being the best guitarist ever in rock music terms. The Stevie Ray from the previous incarnation held that stature but this lads only 11 and already playing with that ability so how far can he take it?, Only time will tell.
@@jorgecado866 Suggest checking out live and loud in Vienna... And 60 60 second Sessions in Gibson Studios. th-cam.com/video/c4ODsXm1lxw/w-d-xo.html Miguel Montalban playing rendition of hey Joe by Jimi hendrix. Amazing!! At Gibson studios with a Les Paul.
Taj would find modern music really boring.....this kid has many followers of real Music....and we are old....and we have seen all the greats.....Taj brings me to tears with what he does....the real stuff. Thanx little mate....keep doing it.....Not just for us Oldies.....but for the Music....thank you my friend.
Ive been playing my version of this for about 10 years now...thought i had it nailed...till now !!!...bloody kids !!😂😂...superb Taj. I expected nothing less to be honest .😁😁👍
David Gilmore is one if the kind. A rare kind. What I like about this version is Taj's impecable timing, rhytm, vibrato, sustain, soulfullness. Speaking of it, only one name comes into my mind and that's Gary Moore. Keep it up, Taj, keep it rocking! God bless you!
I missed the live but watching now with tears in my eyes. Taj...you are reaching into my soul young man. I can't say it enough....you are absolutely amazing!! We 💙 You
I can see the greatest legends sitting around shootin the breeze ... I can hear em say.. took me 25 plus yrs to get that played perfectly... Taj says.. I been playing for 3 yrs and learned your song last week lol...
I get goosebumps when I listen to you play...just so amazing for a person of your age to play like that. You were born with this gift, this natural talent.
What a flat out pleasure to see such a young talent embrace such engaging songs in a current culture of 3 cord ditties, no leads, and a attention span of just 4 min max for a song, a true virtuoso! Keep wailing out the classics young man! On your way to Derek Trucks stature!!!
Taj, everytime I see you & I listen EVERYTHING you play, my mouth drops. You are going to me THE BEST gutiar play in the world! (Stephen Chambers 39 y.o. from Missouri USA )
Sweet Mother Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, and 12 Nearby Oxen being shredded into Heavenly Hamburger -- I have never heard that classic solo being played more skillfully. UN.BE.LIEVE.ABLE! Taj, Taj, Taj, you are the Taj Mahal of the guitar. Seriously Dude, I got emotionally involved with that. Amazing.
That is insane, that kid is a badass. I only wish i would have had parents like he has!!! I would feel stupid even standing next to him and not worthy... A millionair is correct
Epic music is passed down through the generations so it’s never forgotten!! Taj dude, you have just made sure epic music will live on for another generation!!! 🤘🏽
I just love this kid. He makes it look so easy. Anyone who has ever tried to play the guitar can appreciate this kid's talent. But aside from the skill it takes his memory from learning all these songs is really impressive. It takes most players a long time to learn complex solos like this from constant practicing. This young man can cover any of the greats. He's not reading music he is just going with the flow. These are complex finger arrangements and he performs them effortlessly. He's a prodigy. I watched him go toe to toe with Carlos and it was amazing how this relatively newcomer kept up with Carlos strum for strum.
There is something about him that screams future legend.
I think you're absolutely right
He's incredible
No doubt about it.
@cyotie42 Do something about it then...
I just hope he doesn't burnt out before his time. I'm 62 looking to hear some great stuff from him by the time he is 16.
Sweet Jesus, that was mind blowing! TH-cam is full of Comfortably Numb covers, lots of them technically good but lacking feel and emotion. This just knocks it out of the park. 😢😢😢🤟🤟

Andrey's cover is superior in every way
Ellen asks him about his expressions as he plays. He said the music takes him and he said sometimes I cry when playing. Me too. He moves me to tears.

@@isauwy Wow. They played like Taj - and as Taj - when they were 7 years old? 8 years old? 9 years old? 10 years old? 11 years old? I bet most of them had not even picked up a guitar yet !! And even at his now age of 12 years old he can do just as good or better than any of them !! Also, you obviously are just focused on the guitar playing, like I expected to be the case.
For example, even David Gilmour, when playing his epic Comfortably Numb second solo, just stands there like an ironing board. Taj has such a great fan base and so passionate about him because HE IS so passionate AND is ONE WITH the music / guitar. These are things that are innate and cannot be faked or taught, and both of these things are not true regarding even at least half of the guitarists you named or could name. A person either has these, or they don't.
Taj ALREADY IS the best overall package, and his guitar-playing is outstanding. Check out his Surfing With The Alien, and, Tennessee Whiskey !! His Comfortably Numb is fab, too !!
This is one of my most favoured guitar solos ever especially done by the originator David Gilmore. Taj has taken this and applied his own spin, he brings a tear to my eye. How exceptional this is, to all those that give this a thumbs down how inferior an intellect you have. To those people , you have listened to pure magnificence.
His face is like a whole other instrument in the band, tell me he's not feeling the music.
Rock on youngblood Rock on 🤘 🎸
Fake.....he is not feeling the music...😁
all of my favorite guitarists have more emotion than technical skill. This kid is one of my favorites now
Look's like the career has been decided ...... anyone want ice cream.
literally the greatest guitar player ever. i have been binge watching and re watching taj for the last two days straight. unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable! kid is the goat
I can’t believe what I’ve just seen!
This lad is a genius.
One of the very finest solos i’ve ever heard!! Shredding fiercely but with soul. Gilmore would approve!!!
In a league of his own and the sky's the limit.
I look forward to seeing you perform at Wembley Stadium one day Taj 😉
Greetings from London UK 🇬🇧
This is what focus looks like .
Whoever started you on this path should be proud .
James Joiner, TAJ'S DAD STARTED TEACHING HIM. TAJ WAS ON AUSTRALIA'S GOT TALENT AND HE PLAYED "PURPE RAIN !!!" AT TEN !!! AWESOME ON YT.
James Joiner Angus Young started him on this path. He watched him play in concert and said “ that’s what I want to do for the rest of my life!” Thankfully his parents are very supportive. His sister Jezel is a drummer.
OMG you are the greatest guitarist in the world, I’m an old rocker 67 yo and I’m blown away by you kid 😮❤❤ you have such an awesome spirit….may the Universe bless all your day..
Damn kid...... must've been born with that guitar in his hands playing it so effortlessly... almost brings tears to the eyes.
I get goose bumps, he is beyond incredible!! He is going to go so far in the music industry. What a rare talent and genius!! Love you Taj!!
I hope he lives to be and old man and the best guitarist ever .
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind and heart that this is Stevie Ray Vaughan reincarnated. Laugh all you want. As soon as I saw and heard him play. He's a child prodigy quite capable of being the best guitarist ever in rock music terms. The Stevie Ray from the previous incarnation held that stature but this lads only 11 and already playing with that ability so how far can he take it?, Only time will tell.
Me too .. first time I heard him . I got chills . 💜
I agree
It's probably because of the hat and long hair.
Same. Becomes one with his ax, as SRV did
Hate to tell you Jonathan, but "reincarnation" is man made and a complete myth!!!! It is not real and can't happen!!!!
Gitar playing like it should be
I'd say this kid is already the best guitar player in the world.
One of the best.
John petrucci? Steve vai? Joe satriani?
@@jorgecado866 Check out Miguel Montalban.
Kay H ooooh yeah that guy also plays very cool, very wah vibe jajajajaj
@@jorgecado866 Suggest checking out live and loud in Vienna... And 60 60 second Sessions in Gibson Studios. th-cam.com/video/c4ODsXm1lxw/w-d-xo.html Miguel Montalban playing rendition of hey Joe by Jimi hendrix. Amazing!! At Gibson studios with a Les Paul.
Happy we’re all here to see who could potentially the greatest guitarist of all time grow like this
Agree hands down..gonna be a legend om
Mum: Taaaaj... puck up your room, NOW!
You have guitars all over.
TAJ: ok mum, just let me lay down this one MASTER PIECE real quick.
I love this kid from the 1st time I saw him. He is the future. He's Amazing. I see in his face that he totally feels the music. So gifted.
Taj would find modern music really boring.....this kid has many followers of real Music....and we are old....and we have seen all the greats.....Taj brings me to tears with what he does....the real stuff.
Thanx little mate....keep doing it.....Not just for us Oldies.....but for the Music....thank you my friend.
There is one star comes along every thousand yrs and taj is deffo that star 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
damn....when I was 10 years old,I can't even sing the 'old macdonald had a farm'....
I.cant even though my family are all musicians
.makes me wonder .where did they get me. Concepta Cusack leavey.....
Can't. Even play. 3.blind mice...
🙂🙂🙂
I know, right? That "Eee Eye Eee Eye Oh" part is so tricky! Is it "Oh" or "Yoh"? I give up.
He's already one of the best and I dont mean for his age .But i can't wait to see what this kid becomes
Taj I am heartbroken that I missed this! I had to go to the store. But I did watch it sweetie and you blew me away!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!
Brenda L Andrews have a look at gorgoroth vs Pink Floyd
This is proof GOD is real. The definition of gift from GOD. Start at 1:43 and say otherwise. Good night and GOD BLESS. ❤
Taj honey, you are wearing Gibson and playing the Hell out of a Fender. Kid...I Love your style!!! 💗
So much talent at such a young age. Looks like there is still hope for the future of guitar based music.
@503 Workshop OK, ANOTHER TROLL HERE, THERE ARE AT LEAST 3 OTHER TROLLS !!!
ALL OF YOU, JUST LEAVE AND SPREAD YOUR BALONEY ELSEWHERE !!!
GOODBYE !!!
Ive been playing my version of this for about 10 years now...thought i had it nailed...till now !!!...bloody kids !!😂😂...superb Taj. I expected nothing less to be honest .😁😁👍
Absolutely blown away, amazing Taj! You play that guitar like a SuperNova going off.
David Gilmore is one if the kind. A rare kind. What I like about this version is Taj's impecable timing, rhytm, vibrato, sustain, soulfullness. Speaking of it, only one name comes into my mind and that's Gary Moore. Keep it up, Taj, keep it rocking! God bless you!
The kid is legit . I listen to him every chance I get with envy
I missed the live but watching now with tears in my eyes. Taj...you are reaching into my soul young man. I can't say it enough....you are absolutely amazing!! We 💙 You
A premiere is not live. It is pre-recorded and timed to be released at a time and date one chooses.
Nikki B have a look at gorgoroth vs Pink Floyd it’s on TH-cam
you should send this to gilmour, davids gonna love it.. youre great taj, rock on!
I can see the greatest legends sitting around shootin the breeze ... I can hear em say.. took me 25 plus yrs to get that played perfectly... Taj says.. I been playing for 3 yrs and learned your song last week lol...
I get goosebumps when I listen to you play...just so amazing for a person of your age to play like that. You were born with this gift, this natural talent.
You are one fantastic young rocker🎸🎶🔥...
Play on boy🤘🎸...
I wish I could give you a million likes young man. You deserve it for all your hard work! Great job! I hope I get to see you in concert some day.
Scott Ferrell, I HOPE YOU FOUND TAJ'S VIDEO ON STAGE AT 10 YEARS OLD IN LAS VEGAS WITH "CARLOS SANTANA !!!" YT
I love seeing talent like this.. the way he feels the music hes playing is phenomenal. I wish I had half of his motivation lol
the next Joe Bonamassa, wonder if he can sing?
Undoubtedly Taj is a little genius watch this guy fingers on the guitar it's a joy to watch
52 minutes now🤣 time is going sooo slowly 🤦♀️ but for great things, sometimes we must wait👌❤️🎸
TIME IS ON HIS SIDE
What a flat out pleasure to see such a young talent embrace such engaging songs in a current culture of 3 cord ditties, no leads, and a attention span of just 4 min max for a song, a true virtuoso! Keep wailing out the classics young man! On your way to Derek Trucks stature!!!
Taj, everytime I see you & I listen EVERYTHING you play, my mouth drops. You are going to me THE BEST gutiar play in the world! (Stephen Chambers 39 y.o. from Missouri USA )
This kid is a once in a lifetime talent. Enjoy this blessing.
What in the amazing angelic performances was that. THIS KID. Outgoing the originals.
Sweet Mother Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, and 12 Nearby Oxen being shredded into Heavenly Hamburger -- I have never heard that classic solo being played more skillfully. UN.BE.LIEVE.ABLE! Taj, Taj, Taj, you are the Taj Mahal of the guitar. Seriously Dude, I got emotionally involved with that. Amazing.
You're better with every video. Great how you keep pushing yourself to improve. You have bypassed many seasoned guitarists. Great job!
And most of it is improvisation. This kid is a future legend for sure
That is insane, that kid is a badass. I only wish i would have had parents like he has!!! I would feel stupid even standing next to him and not worthy... A millionair is correct
I’m telling you, he is the reincarnation of Stevie ray vaun. I’m serious lol
Mojomoto,
..reincarnation is real.
He just might be as you say.
☮️
Word lol
Totally agree, I've said the same
I read somewhere that he doesn't at all like being labeled as a reincarnation of SRV. He is himself, he is Taj Farrant.
Wow wow easy now, srv was other worldly. And all on his own, not a million dollars worth of gear with thousands of dollars in music lessons
Love your covers! You have your own sound. I can only imagine what you'll be doing in years to come
Getting a Gary Moore vibe here... superb stuff, never seen a kid play this, with such feeling.
Any one want to buy a guitar because I have just decided to sell mine !!!!!!!!!!!
Epic music is passed down through the generations so it’s never forgotten!! Taj dude, you have just made sure epic music will live on for another generation!!! 🤘🏽
Modern Music can be divided in two categories
Pink Floyd - And everything else...
And there is Taj offcourse
awc222 PINK FLOYD RULES!!!!
Tool is the metal version of PF
@@antiantifaterrier5761 no.
E I I like turtles
I just love this kid. He makes it look so easy. Anyone who has ever tried to play the guitar can appreciate this kid's talent. But aside from the skill it takes his memory from learning all these songs is really impressive. It takes most players a long time to learn complex solos like this from constant practicing. This young man can cover any of the greats. He's not reading music he is just going with the flow. These are complex finger arrangements and he performs them effortlessly. He's a prodigy. I watched him go toe to toe with Carlos and it was amazing how this relatively newcomer kept up with Carlos strum for strum.
perfectly put!!!
Taj still doesn't know how to read a bar of music...he FEELS the music...he IS the music
